Tether USDt (USDT) plans a native launch on Bitcoin in November, adding a new issuance route for the stablecoin. TokenPost reported the planned deployment on October 23, 2026. The Tether USDt price trades at 0.9990 USD as of October 23, 2026, according to Investing.com.
November brings a planned Bitcoin deployment
The TokenPost report describes the launch as a future deployment of USDT on the Bitcoin network, rather than a completed issuance. Native issuance means that the token is created for use on Bitcoin itself, instead of being represented only through a separate wrapped version. The report identifies November 2026 as the launch period and says the move would add Bitcoin to the networks supporting Tether USDt.
The planned deployment follows an earlier period in which USDT was associated with Bitcoin before activity centered more heavily on other blockchains. TokenPost said the announcement concerns a future launch, so the November timing is the next dated milestone attached to the deployment.
Reserves totaled 187.8 billion USD in Q2
Tether's second-quarter 2026 report showed reserves of 187.8 billion USD and a surplus of 4.11 billion USD over liabilities, according to CryptoTicker in its October 22, 2026 analysis. The report said the largest reserve component was U.S. Treasury bills, while gold and Bitcoin also formed part of the holdings.
Regulation remains a separate consideration for holders and platforms in Europe. CryptoTicker reported on October 22, 2026, that USDT did not have authorization as an e-money token under the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets framework. On October 21, 2026, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said Iran-related stablecoin volumes had fallen 94 percent and that Tether had helped freeze 550 million USD in Iran-linked USDT, according to Lookonchain.
